Introducing Subscriptions

Many of you have been asking for ways to follow specific topics within the community.  Today we've launched the "Subscriptions" feature, which allows you to do just that.  Subscriptions are a great way to stay up-to-date on topics that are important to you.  Here are some of the highlights:

FOLLOW TAGS
When members add tags to forum posts and blog articles, you can easily subscribe to those tags by clicking the "Subscribe" link.

CREATE KEYWORDS
If you'd like to subscribe to other phrases, you can add keywords via the "Subscriptions" tab on the Settings page.  If you want to subscribe to the keyword for all product groups you've joined, select the "Site Root" option -- otherwise select the specific product group.

EARN BADGES
When you setup your first subscription, you'll earn the Subscriber 1 badge and the Subscriber 2 badge after you have five setup.  Learn more about badges

    

VIEW SUBSCRIPTIONS AND SCHEDULE EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS
You can view your subscriptions from the home page or the home page for any product group that you've joined. 

Your subscriptions are set to send you a daily email notification by default.  You can change that to weekly or opt-out of email notifications.

MANAGE YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS
If your subscriptions include too much or too little information, it's easy to edit your keywords or unsubscribe from specific keywords.
